Vs. Lobzin et al., DIFFERENTIATION OF PATHOGENETIC VARIANTS OF NERVE TRUNKS LESIONS, Zurnal nevropatologii i psihiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 93(5), 1993, pp. 97-99
There are two major variants of nerve trunk disease progression: demye
linizing and axonal-axical. The authors have developed a significant a
nd rapid diagnostic procedure to differentiate the type of nerve trunk
affection based on simultaneous assessment of two parameters (immunol
ogical and electroneuromyographic) carrying out correlations between t
hem. The immunological investigation included measurement of the serum
autoantibodies to galactocerebrosides titer.
